What type of Bible do you use?

I am in the market for a new Bible. This makes me sick bc the Bible that I am using was my Dad's. He read it and gave it to my Mom after their divorce back in 1987. He wrote in it to her. When he passed away she gave it to me.
I love that Bible for more reasons than just the sentimental value it holds. Well, it turns out that bc I was in a hurry and a little upset with my husband, for what I can not remember, I jumped out of the car in a hurry and a huff and the Bible jumped out of my hands into the rain. :'-O (this is me crying, sobbing rather)

See what happens when we huff around and get upset for NO reason!!!

The Bible is salvageable. It is a little "puffy" around the edges wear it was wet the most and it is still readable, etc. However I do not want to take anymore chances with it.

Plus I am really wanting a study or devotional Bible. There are so many Bibles out there that I am just wondering what your thoughts are and what Bible you use and or like/recommend.

THANK YOU!!!

Sorry...

I must apologize for my absence. It was not planned and nothing was/is wrong.
Thank you to those who emailed to check on me. You made me feel special.

I just abruptly took a short break from the world of blogging. Not really sure why. I just felt I needed a small break. I did pop in & out on a couple times, but did not post many (if any) comments. I will be catching up with you all this week, I promise.
I have missed each of you. You're like family now.  :)

We had a couple play dates this past week. One was with my (step) sister & her son. My (step) sister is pregnant and scheduled to be induced this thursday. She is having another little boy. How exciting.    :) I can not wait.

We also had a friend of ours from high school and her husband and kids over for lunch and a play date. It was lots of fun too. My friends oldest (a girl) is just a month older than C.  He LOVED having kids to play with this past week. He will LOVE pre-school come fall.

My friend's husband made dessert...fried ice cream. It was yummy. Once we make it and I write down the recipe, I will share it with you. YUM!!!!!

I started "working"...sort of. Our church needed help with their childcare on tuesday evenings and thursday mornings, so I signed up to help out. I find that each tuesday I am dragging myself there, but once there I have so much fun with the kids. C comes with me and he enjoys this time too, but wants his Mom to help with the babies instead of his age group. HA
I think the only reason I am dragging myself there is bc we leave about the same time P gets home from work. And we don't get back home until 9:30 and I am usually beat. 20-30 3-8yr olds can wear you out FAST.  ;)

Well that is a quick round up of what is going on here. I can not wait to see what you all are up to.

Wii Fit or Wii not Fit

My awesome husband finally broke down and bought me the Wii Fit this past weekend. (YAY) I decided I would start first thing today, and I did. Boy, was I surprised.
You see I do not think of myself as overweight. Sure I need to lose a few, ok more than a few pounds, but even knowing that, I still don't think I am fat. But, the Wii Fit, he thinks I am. (wah) And now I am down in the dumps.  (ugh) He thinks my Wii Fit age is 49...I am ONLY 30 Mr. Wii Fit!!!
Why do I call the Wii Fit a man? Because a woman would NEVER tell another woman she is 19 years older than she really is. And a woman would never tell a fellow sister she is fat even if she could stand to shed a few pounds. It is in our (unwritten) Sister Diary Journal, that we all follow. That is how I know the Wii Fit is a MAN.  MEN!!!
I am going to keep at it and show it who is boss. Call me fat and I will show you!!!  ;)
On a lighter note...I beat my husband records on a few of the exercises. This is HUGE...bc my husband is Mr. Fit!!! AND I ate a salad for lunch. Go me!!!  ;)
I'll let you know how it goes.

Sunday's Scripture

I have seen this verse on several blogs and I just love it. It  speaks volumes.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
